After Fishing For 10 Years, I Became A Saint Without Knowing How To Raise Beasts

Chapter 220 A Condescending Gaze

The angel race's territory.

The Heavenly Palace was brilliant, and hundreds of birds were flying in the sky.

Yuchi was currently pondering matters related to the ancient era.

What exactly was the ancient era?

In the past, Yuchi's understanding of the ancient era was that there were beings who existed in the ancient era a long, long time ago.

Medusa was such a being, and so was Yinguan Luoying.

The Vast Sea Dragon King too.

This seemed to be fine, but was it really correct?

Yuchi had already discovered some problems with his thoughts regarding this topic.

The word "ancient" was relative to the lifespan of a person.

If his lifespan was a billion years, then would a century, or even a millennium, be worthy of the word "ancient"?

Of course not.

To something that long-lived, such a short time-frame was akin to yesterday from a human's point of view.

What if there was an existence that had been alive since the beginning of time?

Thinking of things from his own perspective was flawed.

In reality, every living being was insignificant in the long passage of time. That was how things appeared from the perspective of the heavens.

The reason why he left the Eye of Black Ice was to protect Yu Shengyun from the aftermath of the battle.

On the other hand, it was also to test his hypothesis.

Did that gaze originate from the depths of the Eye of Black Ice…

Or did it originate from the depths of his own heart.

The answer was obvious. It was clearly the latter.

He had left the Eye of Black Ice, but the gaze was still there.

"This is similar to the gaze I had when I was a child when I looked at bugs."

"I might not have had any malicious intent toward them, but I definitely considered myself a superior existence."

"This gaze is looking at me in the same manner."

There was truly nothing in the depths of the Eye of Black Ice. Had there been something there, it would have long been discovered by others.

Rather, this gaze simply appeared whenever Yuchi was close to a body of water. He could sense that there was something beneath the water.

Even from the depths of the porcelain cup in his hand.

When he looked at the bottom of the cup, he could sense that very same gaze.

Right now, this kind of gaze was waiting for Yuchi to take the initiative. As long as Yuchi decided to seek it out then, as long as there was water, this thing would appear. Of course, if Yuchi chose to retreat, then this gaze would not ridicule him either.

After all, they were existences on different levels.

"It's waiting for me. If I don't act, it has no reason to kill me."

"It's different from malice, and it's more akin to contempt and condescension."

Yuchi's state of mind had been improving over the years.

He felt that he was alright.

However, after being stared at by this thing for such a long time, a suspicion had already appeared in his heart.

If he did not get rid of this thing and allowed it to observe him from above, he would eventually get used to having the mentality of being a weaker being, and would no longer dare to challenge the impossible.

Thus, a choice was placed in front of Yuchi.

Should he eke out an ignoble existence?

Or should he go out in a blaze of glory?

While Yuchi was pondering this, Yu Shengxuan arrived.

"Senior, it has been hard on you to take care of Shengyun for the past year."

Yuchi shook his head.

"It wasn't hard. It was more difficult for her than it was for me."

Yu Shengxuan hesitated for a moment.

"I heard from Shengyun that you two are planning to have a child?"

"Yes," Yuchi replied.

Hiss!

Yu Shengxuan breathed in deeply.

'This devil's child... How fierce would his child be in the future? The child would definitely be brought everywhere to kill people.'

One devil was enough, now there might be two.

She had not believed Yu Shengyun's words earlier, but hearing it from Yuchi's mouth stunned her.

Yu Shengxuan then asked in a low voice, "Have you tried? Will it work?"

They were from different races, after all.

? Just as Yuchi was about to answer honestly, Yu Shengyun had already rushed over and stopped him.

"Master, the weather is pretty good today. There's a huge moon," Yu Shengyun changed the topic.

Yuchi, on the other hand, smiled faintly. When Yu Shengyun walked to his side, he smiled at her and said, "You guys stay here. I'm going back for a while. I'll come back after I'm done with my business."

"After you come back, we'll try a few more times."

"If there's a problem, I'll have to trouble your master to give me a few pointers about what needs to be done. I don't know much about this kind of thing."

Yu Shengxuan felt dizzy.

Did she even know enough to give them pointers?

Yu Shengyun nodded shyly.

The other members of the angel race watched Yuchi leave.

The way they looked at Yuchi now was completely different from before.

No longer did they disdain the human race.

Yuchi was a powerful existence that was far beyond them.

…

Right now, Yuchi did not have the confidence that he would be able to kill this being.

In fact, he had no confidence at all.

If the most difficult battle before had a 99% chance of death, this one had a 101% chance of death.

However, if he really killed this thing, he would reach an even more terrifying height.

Still, it was an impossible task.
